JDCrow Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I’ve had the floor down for a year now and just haven’t been able to get over the “hump” of the engine cover. I’ve seen a few here with some trim on the edges, and it kinda stuck out a bit. Buddy said let him try something, and it worked insanely well. He heated and formed the plank for perfect corners. Here’s the progress He did a test 90 angle 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacwjames Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Nice, When I did my flooring int the bedroom I was hesitant about doing the engine "hump". Mine is a square corner so easier to deal with. I did use the trim, turned out pretty good, it sticks out a little but not that much. Been in place +2 years now. I put the floor portion down first and then the step up portion down which eliminated the need for trim at the lower corner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s vinyl so will be easier to cut and work with. What adhesive did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubflyer Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I’ve started this project at the front stairs area and used Gorilla Glue Construction Adhesive, it’s clear and comes in a caulking tube container. Seems to be holding on the vertical surfaces, wondering how much and where to use glue on the horizontal surfaces? Just around the edge? On every piece? Or just on the edges of the pieces so the whole thing just ‘floats’. Advice? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s vinyl so will be easier to cut and work with. What adhesive did you use? Yes, it is the standard stair tread trim. Cuts pretty clean, I used a cut off saw and didn't have any chipping. Still tedious to fit with a nice clean joint so I'd cut it long and slowly shave a little off until I was satisfied. I used liquid nail to glue it down, gave me some time to get the alignment right. Once it starts setting up it there for the long haul, so far no problem. The stairs was a challenge to get the trim to look good. I bought the LVP at Lowes, it was the best Pergo that they carried in stock but unfortunately did not carry the trim so had to special order. Pricey but no other good option unless I went with the metal. I did remove the carpeting of the bed box and put LVP on it, I used quite a bit of liquid nail on it and used clamps to hold it place until it somewhat cured. Glad I completely removed the bed box and did it as I found the rollers had chewed into the bottom, fixed by adding metal strips. Also added extra support under the storage area, there was only one support in the middle, when I had to work on the slide motor I had to be careful not to break the thin plywood on the bottom. Doing the bed box made the final project turn out much better. Edited February 18 by jacwjames 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a 3M junkie so going with their semi permanent/flexible adhesive-sealant and see how it goes. The main floor is floating 1 hour ago, jacwjames said: Yes, it is the standard stair tread trim.

I love the sleek modern look that provides, and no sharp corners to slam your shins into. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
